Question

A muffin recipe calls for 5 ⅓ teaspoon of vanilla extract for 4 dozen muffins. We are only

making 12 muffins. How much vanilla extract does we need?

Please explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

One dozen is 12 muffins. This means you will only need 1/4th the amount of vanilla extract. So now you need to divide 5 1/3 by 4 to get your final answer of 1 1/3 teaspoons of vanilla

Answer 2

1 1/3

Explanation:

dozen=12

we have to divide 5 1/3 by 4 because the recipe is calling for 36 muffins (4*12)

5 1/3=16/3

16/3 divided by 4/1

KEEP CHANGE FLIP

16/3 times 1/4= 1 1/3
